Jade Doskow is featured at ArchDaily and LensCulture for progress toward the first hardcover, full-color monograph of her eight-year photography project on the post-utopian sites of the World’s Fairs, entitled Lost Utopias. Jade writes, “Much can be gleaned from viewing how these sites have aged, offering a prism into the hows and whys of preservation and repurposing of architecture.”

We are pleased to present artwork by SVACE student Luz Rodriguez. Luz created her work in conjunction with Illustration and Cartooning courses last summer.

Artwork by Luz Rodriguez

Luz Rodriguez Dager, aka Ms.Roda, is an Ecuadorian designer, cartoonist, and illustrator. She studied graphic design, visual communication, and marketing at Universidad Casa Grande, and then studied illustration and storytelling (summer program) at School of Visual Arts. Luz writes that her works are “both cute and sarcastic, and they help blur the line between ‘high art’ and human art.”

She also writes, “The inspirations of both pieces were the New York subway trains. All the things going on there, the people, the sound, the stations, etc. This is a small piece…a series of posters of what happens when you just sit down on a train that goes to nowhere.”
